congressman politician senator
Frank Bosworth Brandegee was born on July 8, 1864 in New London, Connecticut and was a son of Augustus and Nancy Christian (Bosworth) Brandegee.
Having been graduated from Yale in 1885, Frank Brandegee spent a year of travel in Great Britain and on the Continent. Upon his return to United States he studied law.
After receiving his law degree, Brandegee was admitted to the New London County bar, and commenced practise in New London as a member of the firm of Brandegee, Noyes & Brandegee. In 1888, the year of his admission to the bar, he also entered politics, going as a delegate to the Republican national convention at Chicago in June; and in November following he was elected to the state House of Representatives. To three other national conventions--those of 1892, 1900, and 1904--he was a delegate.
With the exception of two years, he was corporation counsel of New London from 1889 to 1902, when he resigned; and for a time he also served as United States attorney in his district. In 1898 he was again elected to the Connecticut House of Representatives, of which he was speaker during the session of 1899.
Chosen in 1902 as representative from the third Connecticut district in the Fifty-seventh Congress, for the unexpired term of Charles A. Russell (to March 4, 1903), he was twice reelected (Fifty-eighth and Fifty-ninth Congresses). In 1905 he resigned from the House of Representatives on being elected (May 9) United States senator for the unexpired term (1905 - 09) of Orville H. Platt, who had been a Connecticut senator since 1879. Brandegee was three times reelected--in 1909, 1915, and 1921--and was a member of the committees on Foreign Relations, Judiciary, Library, and Patents.
Brandegee's views were expressed in the objection to any inquiry regarding William Lorimer of Illinois, whose election to the Senate was finally (1912) declared invalid; or regarding Truman H. Newberry of Michigan, whose seat was retained by a vote of 46 to 41 (1922). "In what many of us might consider a sort of consistent wrong-headedness, " commented the New York Times, "kinder observers might find a consistent disregard of political consequences. "
On October 14, 1924, he was found dead in his house in Washington, where he had ended his life by inhaling gas. Financial difficulties, caused by unfortunate investments in real estate, were assigned as the probable cause of his suicide. For some months previous, he had been living in comparative seclusion.
An indifferent speaker, Brandegee made no particular impression by his utterances in the Senate, and outside of it he was rarely heard in public address. It was through his service on committees and through his private counsels that for a time he exerted a considerable influence--an influence largely negative, if not reactionary, in effect.

Brandegee entered politics in 1888 going as a delegate to the Republican national convention at Chicago.
Quotations: During the controversy over the League of Nations, in the Senate discussion of the peace treaty with Germany, Brandegee was a bitter irreconcilable. "I shall never vote for it, " he was quoted as saying, "until hell freezes over, and I think that event is probably somewhat remote. I am not to be buncoed by any oleaginous lingo about 'humanity' or 'men everywhere' ".
Brandegee never married and had no children.
